However I am going to do it slightly differently as I had some issues with the same device getting paired twice and found this to be a better way of pairing your mobile device, read on. You will then see this screen, which gives you another code and suggests going to /pair on your mobile device. Rather than using the YouTube app you have to use their mobile site instead. Note: Sending YouTube videos from the Android and iOS YouTube native apps to your HTPC / TV doesn’t seem to be possible. The next thing to do is pair your mobile devices, in our case we have a Samsung Galaxy Tab and an iPod Touch. You should now be signed in to YouTube TV You will then see Success! You can now close this browser tab and return to the YouTube TV page. You will then see this screen, click Allow Access button. When you select Sign In you will see the screen below, open another browser tab and go to You will then see this page, enter the code in and click Continue. The first thing you need to do is sign in to your YouTube account Now I am going to take a look at some of the setup and settings. OK so now that you have a way to launch YouTube TV from Media Center we will take a quick look at the new YouTube TV user interface.Īs you can see the user interface is pretty nice! And its certainly much better than previous 10 foot UI’s from YouTube like the XL and Leanback ones. New YouTube TV tile in Media Center on the Extra’s menu PNG image I used for the icon here from my SkyDrive. So following that guide you can create a new icon in Media Center for YouTube TV as shown in the below screen shot:
I just wrote a blog post here about using a utility called Relaunch to do this.
Once I had Chrome installed the next thing was to add an icon in to Media Center to launch YouTube TV in the Chrome browser. This meant I had to download and install Google Chrome on to each of my HTPC’s as I usually just use Internet Explorer on the HTPC’s. This is the downside for me though as I am now listening to more Thai music hehe.įirst things you will notice is that does not work in Internet Explorer and you get a YouTube 404 not found page, you have to use Google Chrome on the HTPC. As she can now browse YouTube on her Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 tablet and send her Thai music videos either to the TV in the living room or to the TV in our bedroom, and have the sound play out of the speakers in the room. This works pretty well and I am glad I set it up, my wife also agrees and out of all the many audio visual and home automation things I have built in our house, this is the one feature she has said she actually likes LOL.
